How to Build a Vacuum Table for Woodworking and CNC Projects
Building a vacuum table requires a few steps. First, find a large piece of MDF or particleboard and drill evenly spaced holes in the surface. Attach a vacuum hose to the board and use a vacuum pump to create suction. Then, cover the board with a sheet of thin neoprene or cork and secure it with adhesive. Place your material on top of the neoprene and use the suction to hold it in place while working on it.
